Good book. Does a great job of putting together all of the pieces from the previous two books. And without miring itself in recreating the movie "Pretty Woman" for some character like he did on the first books. Clearly, Sanderson put a ridiculous amount of effort into the details of the magic system he uses in the Mistborn series. Because of how the magic works, I can't help but think that Mistborn would make for a good videogame.

In summary... Lots of action. Plenty of hacked off Coloss body parts. And the fairly major, yet well-thought-out and interesting, focus on made-up religions would, no doubt, tick off the nutjobs who thought Harry Potter was an evil devil book written by Satan.
